One of the definitions for the word "Toy" given by the oxford dictionary.

"An object, especially a gadget or machine, regarded as providing amusement for an adult."

It's a weird one, you can refer to things as a Toy but that doesn't necessarily mean that the object itself is a toy. The word really denotes what you use it for. A child can take a stick and use it as a toy, that doesn't mean it is a toy. A console can be a toy, I wouldn't say that's the best word to describe it though.
